About Makeup Artists

They work efficiently to prepare talent between setups, handling everything from basic powder and touch-ups to full corrective makeup, grooming, and hair styling. They are experienced with diverse skin tones and types, ensuring every subject looks their best on camera. Assignment Desk Makeup Artists are available in all 24 markets and can be added to any crew booking. They work on corporate shoots, commercials, broadcast news, reality TV, live events, and photo sessions. All MUAs are W2 employees with full liability coverage.
